[NFB-Blind-Crafters] Crochet floss

[slery]

It is at least lace but I am not sure if it is considered thinner as I 
have not worked with it. Maybe find the one you are planning on using 
and call the companies customer support. Typically, yarn companies are 
good at having people that can answer these types of questions. I did 
email with a company and asked a similar question about a particular 
yarn and they were able to help me.
